and that report from our brussels correspondent terry schultz. my earlier we spoke to terry and asked where the rushes threat of consequences if finland were to join nato is having any impact on decision making in helsinki. that threat has even been repeated just in the past few days. and especially now that both finland and sweden are in boy invited to nato to all ukraine meetings. that's certainly something that isn't sitting well in the kremlin. and this used to be the main reason that finland wasn't joining. it used to say that, you know, it could be provocative to join the alliance, and that may not be the best thing for its security. now that, that russia invaded ukraine, a peaceful neighbor, everything's changed. and i think finland has seen that staying out of nato is no guarantee that you won't be attacked. so that is really why we've seen this very, very dramatic change in finish public opinion. we had a look at some other developments in the conflict. the russian winner of the 2021 nobel peace prize says he'll auction off the prestigio

and so let's bring in dw correspondent terry schultz to help break all of this down for us. terry, let's talk about this new development. poland announcing its handing over its mig 29 fighter jets to the united states. they could now be sent on to ukraine. how significant is this update? what we have to see if it happens, claire, poland has announced it's willing to hand over. it's make 20 nines to, to the united states. we don't know yet whether the united states is prepared to take them even though we do know this has been under discussion for days. you are secretary of state, tony blink and confirmed that over the weekend. so we know that this has been something that poland and the united states have been discussing, and of course we hear from ukraine daily that they need more fighter aircraft. of course, they'd really like a no fly zone, but that's not not in the works at the moment. so we need to see whether this happens as i understand it. the polish government would then expect the united states to take over any of the rules that the megs are playing at the moment beca

there was des terry schultz there more than a 1000000 children have fled ukraine since the war began, including the 10 year old twins, dimitri and victoria, who made it to italy. and on their 1st day of school, this is what greedy them at the door with the 200 people to teachers gathered to give the 2 new arrivals a warm welcome at the don milani's school. enough of a show of humanity in the face of it, he should you want to d w. news business news is up next with daniel winters. stick around. he will be right back. tooth tooth with they've had no peace for for decades. people of iraq country is devastated and there's no end to violence. how did it come to this group this is reveal and unprecedented story. we.

let's bring in our nato correspondent terry schultz, who's listening into the press conference for us there in brussels at nato headquarters at terry. tell us what you took away as, as the main points here. well, certainly everything that secretary general stores hamburg has announced, just reminds us how russia has failed in its demands for nato to refrain or to reverse decisions that it has taken in past years. everything is that still timber is talking about is reinforcement of the eastern flank. they're going to double the number of battle groups that were already deployed to estonia, latvia, lithuania, and poland. they're now going to move down the eastern flank to bulgaria, hungary, romania and slovakia. so you now have 8 battle groups posted there, creating what nato hoax is a seamless, seamless deterrent effect along the eastern flank. he also mentioned more support for ukraine. and you can tell from his comments here just how high the concern is that russia is indeed planning a chemical attack. they've seen these false flag narratives of popping up for some time. this has bee

but terry schultz has more on the significance of this proposed deal. poland has announced it's willing to hand over. it's make 2092 to the united states, so we don't know yet whether the united states is prepared to take them even though we do know this has been under discussion for days. your secretary of state tony blinking confirmed that over the weekend. so we know that this has been something that poland and the united states have been discussing, and of course we hear from ukraine daily that they need more fighter aircraft. of course, they'd really like a no fly zone, but that's not not in the works at the moment. so we need to see whether this happens as i understand at the polish government, would then expect the united states to take over any of the roles that the megs are playing at the moment. because once they leave. so this is really a deal in the works and we're seeing the negotiation sort of play out in public. so there are a lot of, of, of pieces still in the, it's still in play here. terry shells reporting from brussels or u. s. president or by that has also announced

so let's bring into the correspondent terry schultz for more a terry nato secretary general yen st. oldenburg, st. civilians are increasingly coming under fire in ukraine. and that this could be a deliberate strategy from russia. i mean, that is quite a statement, isn't it? that's right. i was struck by his words this morning too when i heard them. i mean, none of us have been able to escape these horrific images of civilians, you know, trying to shelter under bridges while coming under attack. and especially these very disturbing images of, of families being killed as they were trying to make a run for safety. and i'm told that it was these pictures that, that particularly disturb secretary general stilton burge in recent days and led him to make this statement today, especially warning the kremlin that targeting civilians is a war crime. we should also point out that the international criminal court has already opened an investigation and a potential war crimes being committed in ukraine after conducting a preliminary investigation and, and seeing enough evidence that this is a very serious

let's get more on that meeting from t w. correspondence at terry schultz is at nato headquarters in brussels. welcome back, terry. so what, what else did the nato secretary general have to stay? well, while i was listening to the secretary general, i was actually thinking about how this monologue would be heard in key of and in the other ukrainian cities where people are pleading day after day for nato to enforce a no fly zone. and the secretary general made clear as he has on previous occasions that this is just not going to happen. that in fact, no nato ally has an appetite to be engaged in a war with russia, which is what would happen if it needed to enforce a no fly zone to close the air space over ukraine. and he said, in fact, not just that, that this would engage nato allies with russia, but that it would not make it safer for ukraine that this would not help ukraine in its self defense. so if, if i were the ukrainians, i would not be taking any solace from, from what we're hearing out of nato headquarters today. and that's actually what i was thinking as i was into the secretary gene
